44. And I' so glad that the adults are letting law enforcement do their jobs

First and foremost, let them do the detective work and find out who is behind this. We need to be careful and measured in any response withing the government this time, something that was completely lacking after 9/11. Rampant hysteria ruled the day, and the Bushies took full advantage of it to promote their ultimate agenda.

I'd rather them take their time and be right rather than "Rush" to judgement with speculation and hysteria wrapped in the American Flag disguised as "truth" in order to fulfill some other hidden agenda the Administration may have.

So glad adults are in charge for a change. I shudder to think how Rmoney would have responded in the coming weeks or months.
